AMG black is the one to keep IMO. Heck, probably even better than the current bloated GT (the original GT was much more in line with an enthusiast vehicle and threat to the 911, the current one is quite literally a GT-cruiser in terms of handling and chassis). Jaguar is too much of a question mark in terms of whether it'll be around or there will be any support. Support for an old AMG black will be difficult too...but difficult is better than none.

Driving a $5000 Saab when the brand is dead is a lot different than holding a $75k Jag they made in tiny quantities as the brand dies. You can get parts out of a junkyard. There's a real possibility of not being able to get replacement pieces for the Jag.

Nobody mentioned color so I would do it based off color. The Merc looks plain, even though it is special and a black series. The Jag looks amazing with the deep Blue.
To be honest though if you aren't going to drive them very much what's the point of keeping either of them other than an appreciating asset? I would almost sell both of them and maybe get something else more collectible.

5k! Try $500

And 75 for the Shaguar? There's one for sale at well over $300K.
